Beach House Perfection

Stop your search and book this house! When I say it has everything you are looking for, I mean everything - the owners did not cut any corners in making this home a perfect beach getaway. From a fully loaded kitchen (every gadget, cutlery, spice you could imagine), to 6 plush robes hanging in the closets, this house is exactly what you want when looking for a luxury beach getaway. We didn't have kids, but it is absolutely kid friendly if you do, with beach toys/wagon, and game closet. The beds are large and comfortable and bedrooms have blackout curtains. The fireplace was spectacular and kept the house warm and cozy. Lastly, it was impeccably clean and stocked with extra supplies. If you want to feel spoiled and pampered all while having secluded, almost private, access to the spectacular beach, this is the house for you.We are so grateful to have spent time here and make incredible family memories.

Holiday Stay at the Beach

We loved our stay at Jeff and Pam's home in the Monterey Dunes Colony! The view was beautiful and the beach was just steps away. The large kitchen was fully stocked with spices, oils, coffee, appliances (blender, cuisinart, toaster, and slow cooker for example) and all the dishes and utensils one could possibly need. We enjoyed the closet with puzzles and games which also housed movies and beach toys and equipment for the various courts at the nearby clubhouse. We were able to kayak at Elkhorn Slough, visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Carmel and Point Lobos and even volunteer for a day at Esalen from this perfect peaceful base.

Jeff and Pam are great hosts. Their beach house is a great place for families to gather and their kitchen is the best stocked of any we have experienced. We hope to return in future years.

Heavenly Retreat

Location and privacy was so important to our group and this did not disappoint. Great kitchen space and a back door straight to the beach. Amazing scenery and the best weather we could ask for. Super clean, well stocked and had everything we needed for our stay. Thanks so much. We’ll definitely be back

Great stay in Monterey Dunes

Jeff and Pam have done an amazing job making this place feel warm and welcoming as well as beautiful. They stock it generously with everything a good cook might want as well as with games and plenty of in-home entertainment options. They were responsive in real time, made the checkin process easy and left good, clear instructions for the most important things we needed to know. A wonderful contrast to another unit we stayed in previously managed by Monterey Dunes Company, which was poorly stocked with insufficient cutlery and just about everything else as well as and never got properly repaired with responses to requests often taking days.

Replenishment

We were able to totally be at rest and allow the immersion in the soundscape of the ocean to hold us and nourish us. Jeff and Pam's place was most conducive for this and met our expectations. I'd return here in the future.

Our family had a wonderful time at Jeff & Pam's beautiful place!! The ocean view was incredible and we loved hearing the sound of the waves. The recommendations from Jeff & Pam were very helpful & our kids loved the snacks that were left for guests. The short walk to the beach was a big highlight. This was one of our favorite places we have stayed at & we hope to visit again soon!

Absolutely wonderful stay!

Our family absolutely loved our stay here. We stay in a lot of rentals and this one really stood out for the level of attention payed to making sure you had everything you needed. Our boys 11 and 14 were super excited about the container of snacks, upon entry they said right away that we needed to leave a 5 star review. But most we loved the view, the sunsets, beach, and the relaxing atmosphere. It was extremely clean and well kept. All the beds were very comfortable with nice linens. Kitchen was beautiful with everything we needed from spices to actually sharp knives. Visited both Monterey and Pinnacles NP. It was a great stay!!

Amazing view!

My husband, mother in law, and my newly wedded sister in law and her husband traveled from Sacramento down to Monterey for 4 days to relax, and bond with family. The view was absolutely stunning the moment you enter the beach house. The house is spacious, and was perfect for our group of 5; it had literally everything we needed, including complimentary wine and snacks. The hot tub was perfect temperature to relax in the evenings, and was very close to the rental. I would absolutely take my family to stay here again in the future, and I really hope to get the option do so. Thank you so much for making our stay perfect!
